Stephany,
You should look at the TNTmips from MicroImages (www.microimages.com).
TNTmips is an integrated geospatial information system designed for the
creation, analysis and output of geographical and spatial data including
raster, vector, CAD, TIN and database objects. TNTmips also includes surface
modeling, hyperspectral analysis, maps and layout design.. etc.
A single TNTmips system has the same functionality as a combination of
multiple other geospatial software packages, including extensions, under a
single system and interface. Yes, I mean TNTmips = ArcInfo (with add-ons) +
ER
Mapper (or Erdas Imagine, depending on your taste). TNTmips imports and
exports all of the popular formats being used for spatial data including
E00, Shape, DXF, GeoTIFF, MrSID, JPEG2000, among others.
The TNT products are supported on all of the other popular platforms (MacOS
X, Windows, Linux and Unix) by maintaining a single set of source code for
all of the platforms. This cross platform development means that your
platform is already available including the 64-bit operating systems,
MacOS - Sun Solaris - Linux - Windows XP Beta // Mac G5 - AMD Athlon - AMD
Opteron: http://www.microimages.com/documentation/cplates/69tnt64bit.pdf
This feature also enables files and objects created in TNTmips to be used
seamlessly across different platforms / operating systems without the user
having to convert the data to another format: potentially losing information
in the process.
Further information on TNTmips can be found on our website at
http://www.microimages.com/product/tntmips.htm You may wish to download a
copy of the TNTlite, a free software package for students and learning
professionals. TNTlite has the same functionality as the professional TNT
products except for the size of the objects that can be processed and the
ability to export data. Information on TNTlite can be found at
http://www.microimages.com/tntlite/
TNT products are used in more than 150 nations around the world, and is the
most technically advanced and easy to use professional system in the market.
Our clients include governmental institutions that use countrywide raster /
vector data to make huge analysis. Some of them include the USGS who uses
TNTmips in MacOS platform with dual 30" monitors to make geological maps of
another nation. Also the TNT products compete with ESRI in Japan, involving
most of the academic institutions and governmental projects, and
international contracts (JICA / JAFTA etc). We additionally have many other
world wide organizations covering many disciplines (agriculture, mining,
military, forestry, hydrology, planning, mapping, ...).
Here are some additional information that you might find useful:
